Synopsis

In J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, Peter flies into the Darling children’s nursery and leads Wendy, John, and Michael to Neverland. There they meet the Lost Boys, Tinker Bell, and the pirate Captain Hook, setting off a string of magical adventures. Barrie’s playful comedy grows from Peter’s mischievous nature, the children’s imaginative outlook, and the wonderfully strange logic of Neverland. It’s a whimsical fantasy with lively, lighthearted humor.
